TravelerThis place was perfect for a DC city escape. The drive to get there was easy, though it does turn into gravel for a bit at the end. The campground is clean and has showers. Perfect loop for tubing walking distance from the campsites and a nice loop trail around the campsite as well.
ScoutNice single site sheltered from road and neighboring properties. We backed in a full size pickup with no problem. We set up hammocks, but there was plenty of flat space for tents. Good fire ring: we bought firewood from a local place found on FB marketplace. It was very quiet at night with a little vehicle noise from the nearby roads in the morning. A great spot to camp when hiking in Shenandoah NP.
ScoutEscorted to your site- and needed with the steepness of the campground. Sites are large and spacious, though! Also appreciated the gate at entrance. Excellent property!
TravelerVery nicely maintained sites. Cost per night but can't pay via application cause there is no cell service. Water wasn't working or on but that was anticipated.
ScoutVery accommodating, we are traveling through and called at the last minute for a spot overnight. We stayed right on the creek.
ScoutQuit, right along the creek, dollar general is right down the street. If only that house wasn’t looking down on me🤷♂️
TravelerBeautiful camping sites along the river! This is a small State Park, but packs a punch with some beautiful trails, and direct river access from almost half of the sites. Nice camp store and heated, full bath houses with showers. Note that sites are gravel….so if tenting bring a cot and/or some extra cushioning. Wi fi is available within close range of the camp store. I was at Site #8.
ScoutFriendly staff, great riding right from the camper and a neat playground for the kids.
TravelerDispersed camping beyond the actual quarry. A lot of rain occurred in the days prior but on my visit over two days. Bright and sunny. However, it was a lot of road wash out and a lot of standing water as you made your way toward dispersed spots. Apparently, I was the only one there, because they were many, many spots open for camping. Nice pre-visited sites and was able to camp near running stream.
